Djurgarden have won their last five matches ahead of Sunday's home fixture against IF Elfsborg. The team sits second in the Allsvenskan with 41 points from 21 games, chasing league leaders Sirius.
Strong home form
The latest victory was a 2-0 home win over Gais last weekend. Kristian Stromland Lien and Bo Åsulv Hegland scored the goals, assisting each other in the process. This winning run also includes a 7-1 away win at Haninge and a 1-0 victory in Kalmar. The team's most recent starting lineup against Gais featured Rinne in goal and a defensive midfield pairing of Stensson and Siltanen.
The Elfsborg encounter
IF Elfsborg travel to Stockholm following a 1-0 home win over Kalmar FF, but with an inconsistent run of form that includes a loss to Brommapojkarna. In the most recent meeting between the sides in April, Elfsborg won 2-1 at home. Djurgarden's striker Kristian Stromland Lien, the team's top scorer this season with 15 goals in 21 appearances, will be a key figure in trying to break that pattern.
The match against IF Elfsborg is played at 3Arena on September 20.
